So I have a 2nd round interview lined up with a McKinsey office overseas in the MENA region. Assuming all goes well and I get the offer what are the chances I can sort of shop it around to other offices in America to change location. Sorry if this is a dumb question. The problem is that my wife might start a Doctoral Program in the USA and as a result it might not be feasible for us to go overseas now. Will I just have to decline and apply again for another office? Any advice?

I’ve just accepted an offer in the US, and while going through the process, (as a Brit), I was routinely reminded that if I were to get an offer it would be only for the US and not transferable to any other country

First - Congrats!! Welcome to the land of supersized meals!! I'm sure you'll love it

2nd - Thanks for sharing your experience. Seems like I might have to either decline or try to convince my wife (which is probably 10x more difficult than a McKinsey interview)

3rd - I heard changing offices after a year or two in isn't that bad so maybe that's a possibility!

Minimal. If you’re hired into a specific office you will be expected to start there. If you want to join a US office you should ask the recruiter now and that office will have to decide whether they want to interview you or not.
Once you’re at the firm for a while you can ask to transfer offices. To do so you need to have a proper reason why, e.g., your significant other is in that city, you do a lot of work for a client in that city and local leadership supports the move, etc.

Makes sense - Thanks for the insight!
